Finishing 8th with what has gone on considerig the board selling the best players is doing well. Add to that the cup final and Puel has done ok and does not deserve to lose his job. Now the major clubs have got their acts together 8th may well be the glass ceiling we will never push through. We had our chance but missed it, sums up our team funnily enough

MOPO had a 100m worth of talent in your list that has been sold before Puel got here. Im not bothering in checking, I sense that until you get your way and Puel is gone you will not stop picking away. Of course once the new man is in you will have to support him just to prove you are right. Perhaps it will be funny when you are cheerleader for Steve Bruce lol

hiw can we ever have stability if we change the manager every season. Puel needs time to build and you start by not losing first and then go from there. I cant believe how fans feel we played wonderful football every/most games for the previous 2 seasons. There was a lot of dull possession football then as well.

thats is true, by being at Pompey , he is going nowhere

good honest reporting. I would rather him than a Holloway, Warnock and th like who have a quick joke during and interview, who praise the fans just to suck up to them.

I cant be bothered to go back and look at your assessments of Mopo or RK but I suspect they were not as understanding as you are portraying here

We do have an ungrateful bunch of fans, we are likely to finish 8/9th, the club will benefit by millions due to the high place in the league and still the manager is goign to be sacked. I do hope you fans who want him gone know what we may get once he's gone. The squad any manger would inherit will struggle to get the team up higher in the league. If they have a fit Austin Gabbi, and VVD then they would have a chance, Apparently (I was told this some months ago ) Steve Bruce is great friends with Les.

it would be.

your house will have gone up more in the south. I wish to pass money onto my children and grandchildren and so would love to have the care for us but who pays for it? As I will have paid higest bands of tax for decades is it right that I get to pay more for care ???? Anyway the idea is fair although annoying, the care homes charge massive fees and they will benefit big time as they just keep upping their charges.

you dont get info, just people avoiding answering the question

Exactly

If we finish 10th or above and have been to a cup final , it is shameful to sack the manager. I understand fans frustrations sitting through 0-0 draws but overall Puel should be allowed to develop the team with his squad. We need a cutting edge and we perhaps will be a very decent side next season. As Souness said the other night, it is the board who sold the players but they wont hold their hands up.

so were we

you just cant help but criticise everything. I didn't think before tonight but I now wonder if you really are a Skate afterall

if we had won you would have said it was against a weak side. You show no balance, just try to unsettle everyone with your intention to destabilise things

I don't think hes going to sack himself

2 penalty misses, so really we should have seen two more wins

blame puel by all means but the board are the ones who have let the players go and not replace the goals lost. Go back to the preseason threads and see the posters on here warning about the lack of firepower.

awa on business and alking to fans from other clubs and they are in disbelievement that we are sitting 8th and thinking of getting rid of the manger. 'What do we expect; was the comment

football cannot be scintillating unless you have that style of player. Romeau JWP and Davis do not know how to play that way

the reason fans have not taken to him is that he doesn't juggle and crack jokes during interviews. If he told the fans how great they are that would help him as well. His English was poor but is improving, Ian surprised the club didn't use Black to do the interviews a bit more

apparently we have a quality 25 man PL squad lol

and if he does you cannot complain about who comes in

I understand your sarcasm, no doubt valid but if such things are being dished out what else that should not be given out also is on the lists. If we are to pay more tax, then at least don't waste it. Hence my point earlier, it is not about giving more tax it is trusting those who dish the taxes out. How about a consultant who knew that an op should not be on the NHS but told the person not to worry that they would slip it through (fact not hearsay)
